Sprout's Second Chance

"Mmm, I had forgotten how good a simple grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup was, Pipp. Thanks for reminding me." Sunny said as she and the princess left a diner called The Cloud Bowl.

"Any time, Sunny. Now what do you say we get to the castle and see if all our stuff is there yet?" Pipp asked.

Sunny replied with a nod, and they headed down the main street to the elevator that made the ascent to the castle.

"Welcome home, Princess," greeted the guard as they passed onto the platform. Once they were on, the attendant pressed the upwards arrow, the doors slid closed, and the platform began to ascend.

"So did you have any plans for the rest of the afternoon and evening?" Sunny asked.

"You... Could say that, yeah. One of my rare days off from livestreaming. I've got something in mind, you'll see."

Sunny didn't want to go out on a limb and assume that whatever Pipp had in mind had something to do with her ageplay, but she was looking forward to foaling out a bit after the day-and-a-half trip here, even if it was in the privacy of her own guest suite. It would probably only be for a night or so, because whatever Pipp had in mind for most of her visit here, she never went very long without livestreaming.

In the short weeks following reunification, Sunny was pleased to see quite a few earth ponies and unicorns not only shopping in the downtown district below, but also touring the castle, as she saw a tour group exiting the main doors as the elevator came to a stop at the top, and the glass doors slid open, the red carpet leading straight forward to the castle. As she walked, Pipp got out her phone, and took a quick selfie in front of the castle.

"Finally home for a few days, taking the rest of the day off for some R&R," Pipp narrated as she filled in the photo description before posting it to her Ponygram page. After that, she shut her phone off and slid it back into her saddlebags as they came up to the castle doors. The guards saluted as they passed into the foyer, and they took the stairs to the right, up to the royal living quarters.

"Feels so different now that we're not sneaking under tables and behind curtains," Sunny commented, as she took in the regal white marble decor in the hallways, lined with angular light sconces.

"Yeah, that was quite the evening. I'm thrilled it all worked out, don't get me wrong. And here we are..." Pipp said, coming up to a large, double-door archway with a glowing green touch pad on the wall just to the right of it. Pipp pressed her hoof to the pad, and the doors swung open, revealing her bedroom.

The first thing Sunny noticed was the large makeup mirror atop the armoire. On the right wall was a queen-sized bed, with purple satin sheets tightly tucked in under the corners. On the left wall was an immaculate dresser, with a dozen drawers, and yet another mirror to the right of it. Right next to them on the left next to the door was the camping supplies and both of Sunny's saddlebags, neatly stacked in a pile. If they had been searched or otherwise investigated, it didn't look like it.

"See, told you," Pipp told her, giving her a friendly nudge as Sunny took a quick look in the bags that contained the ageplay supplies that Izzy had packed for her.

When they stepped far enough into the room to close the doors, Pipp did so, and immediately locked them with the electronic pad on the left side.

"Alright, Sunny, I have something to show you, and I can't believe I've managed to hold it in all this time," Pipp continued, waving Sunny over to the large dresser. The earth mare came on over, and the pegasus slowly opened up the bottom drawer, containing neatly folded towels. When the drawer was pulled almost all the way out, the pegasus reached down underneath the pulled-out drawer, and must have hit some kind of button or switch, because once she withdrew her hoof, the stacks of towels were revealed to be not that deep at all, as the false bottom containing them slid back into the main unit, unveiling the secret compartment underneath, that was filled with stacks of disposable diapers.

Sunny's eyes widened.

"No way. You too?" She asked, and the pegasus immediately nodded.

"That's it, actually. This is a side of myself that I have never shown the cameras, never talked about on a livestream. When I saw Sprout's room, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was beside myself. Seeing how happy you and him were getting into it, it took every ounce of self-control that I had to not just explode in happiness right then. If different pony kinds can have something like this in common, then I know that there's nothing that can really keep us apart," Pipp explained with a smile.

Sunny returned the smile, and came in for a hug, which the pegasus eagerly returned.

"Well, you heard about how I got into it, so what's your story?" Sunny asked as she gave the contents of the secret drawer another peek, spotting the wipes and powder against the wall in the corner of the drawer.

Before she could answer, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and Pipp momentarily got a look of panic as she prepared to flip the switch underneath again, but paused in her efforts when she heard the voice on the other side out in the hall.

"No worries, it's me, sis," came the voice of her older sister, Zipp. "I saw your post on Ponygram, figuring it could only mean one thing; that you had gotten back into town and were most likely going to show Sunny what you're showing her right now."

Pipp slowly exhaled the breath she had been holding nervously.

"Am I right?" Zipp asked after a moment of silence. Pipp took another deep breath, and walked back over to the electronic pad next to the door, tapping it with her hoof, and the lock clicked open, and the doors swung to reveal her older sister, who gave both of the room's occupants a smile before glancing at the open drawer.

"Yep, thought so. Still kept them in the same place all these years," the white-coated pegasus commented as she entered the room, before Pipp closed and locked them again.

Sunny was still somewhat beside herself, that all of her friends not only knew about this fetish, but were also involved to some extent.

"So you knew about it too?" Sunny asked. Zipp nodded.

"There came a point in my life where Zipp continued to get bigger, but for awhile there it seemed like my growth stunted, so my mind just started to gravitate towards items from when I was younger," Pipp explained.

"You should have seen her face when I caught her the first time," Zipp said, snickering, and Pipp stuck out her tongue in response. "So, where's your stuff, Sunny?"

Sunny went over to where her saddlebags and camping supplies had been neatly stacked, and pulled out the bag that Izzy had packed for her, while Zipp went over and grabbed one of the diapers and bottles of foal powder from Pipp's secret drawer.

"Let me get my two foals padded up for the night and then we can talk about dinner."

With that, Zipp spread her wings and guided Pipp and Sunny over to the large bed on the other side of the room.

"Do you two do this often?" Sunny asked as she and Pipp hopped up on the bed and laid down.

"Honestly, it's been awhile," Pipp answered as Zipp got the diapers unfolded and under them. "I take about one day off a week from livestreaming, and it gets tricky to get our free time lined up."

"Does your mom know?" the earth pony asked.

"Yeah, but it's one of those 'out of sight, out of mind' deals with her. It's not really hurting anything or anypony, as long as it's behind closed doors." Zipp told her, sprinkling foal powder over both of their diaper areas.

"I have a question for you, Sunny," Pipp started as her big sister got their diapers taped up. "You think if I buy Sprout the biggest, cheesiest pizza in Maretime Bay, that he'd give me a night in that nursery of his?"
